cnet Reporter's Roundtable continue
Oh I left something out that caught my eye on this particular subject. One of the interviewee was asked how the Internet would look if Net Neutrality is no longer there. His answer was straight to the point and made a lot of sense and did not include any hard to understand principles. Basically the Internet would look like your television system with the Cable or Satellite companies. So you would get a package that allows you to watch certain programs. If you want to watch something like HBO and didn't have that service than you would need to pay more to get that particular program. Sports fans pay extra for extra sports programming, while the normal Family man might pay more for his children to have extra cartoon programs. When you look at it this way having Net Neutrality is better than disbanding it. Can you imagine working on something and being limited to only certain things on the Internet that you can search and verify your sources? This seems like the whole gasoline problem in America. No matter how much they charge people are still willing to pay because it is a necessity for them. Remember the old classic movie slogan from Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come"? In this case it is, "If you charge for it, we will pay."
